Welcome

Metro Tech High School is a school of choice that provides a four-year college preparatory curriculum along with a two-year career and educational program to all students. We ensure that all our students explore their academic and career interests and abilities in a learning environment that exemplifies rigor, relevance, and relationships. We are committed to the district mission of preparing every student for success in college, career, and life.

The FBLA students and advisors will be going through 20 hours of training and testing during the month of January in order to be ready to offer free tax help to low-to-moderate income individuals and families who cannot prepare their own tax returns.

With
the flu and cold season upon us, our school nurses request that you not
send your student to school if he/she is ill. We have had several
students arrive at school sick, and check in with the school nurse at
the direction of their parents. Not only does this overburden the
school health centers, but sick students run the risk of infecting
others. For more details about when not to send your child to school

The State Board of
Education has adopted a new assessment to replace the AIMS Reading,
Writing and Mathematics exams. AzMERIT, Arizona’s Measurement of
Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching, will be administered statewide
in the spring of 2015 for the first time. The tests will measure
proficiency of the Arizona College and Career Ready Standards in the
areas of Math and English Language Arts in grades 9, 10 and 11.

Currently, students
will not be required to pass the end-of-course tests for graduation, but
must still earn the minimum number of English and Mathematics credits
in order to graduate. The actual test dates have not been determined
yet, but will be across multiple days in April.

High school students
graduating after December 31, 2016 will no longer be required to pass
the AIMS tests to graduate high school. AIMS Science will still be
administered, tied to school accountability, but not graduation.
